On Tuesday, November 10, we are heading to the CHI Center for our Glow Baseball Field Trip! We will be gone from around 10am-2pm. Please have your student wear last year's Fun Run shirt if they have it. If not, have them wear something green.
Here is what the box lunch for our field trip contains: Turkey and American Cheese on Sub Roll (no lettuce, no tomato), Plain Chips, Chocolate Chip Cookie, and a Condiment Package. If your child does not want the box lunch they can bring their own but it MUST BE PEANUT FREE.
We are focusing on adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators. Please consider practicing this skill with your student at home (i.e. 1/2 + 3/4 or 8/9 - 1/3) and any multiplication fact practice would also be appreciated. We are taking this test on Wednesday, November 11.
Please check with your student nightly regarding any missing work they may need to complete at home. This can also be found on ParentVue
Please encourage your student to bring a waterbottle to school, so they do not miss out on learning to freqeuntly grab drinks from the drinking fountain.
Please make sure you have the TalkingPoints app dowloaded. It is also important to have the notifications turned on for that app.
Have your student bring in $18 to cover the cost of our 5th grade celebration to The Amazing Pizza Machine in May!
